# Quick installation {#quickinstallation}

In a [composer-based TYPO3 installation](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/tutorial-getting-started/13.4/en-us/Installation/Install.html#install) you can install
the extension EXT:news via composer:

```bash
composer require georgringer/news
```

In TYPO3 installations above version 11.5 the extension will be automatically
installed. You do not have to activate it manually.

If you are using an older version of TYPO3 or have a legacy installation
without composer, have a look at the
[Extended installation](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/georgringer/news:installation@main) chapter.

## Update the database scheme {#update-the-database-scheme}

Open your TYPO3 backend with [system maintainer](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/13.4/en-us/Administration/UserManagement/BackendPrivileges/Index.html#system-maintainer)
permissions.

In the module menu to the left navigate to **Admin Tools > Maintanance**,
then click on **Analyze database** and create all.

In the same module **Admin Tools > Maintanance** you can also
conveniently clear all caches by clicking the button **Flush cache**.
